	<li>RPM, Debian and LuaRocks packages</li>
</ul>

<p>[Suggestions?]</p>

<h3>General</h3>

<ul>

	<li><strong><span class="style6">Priority:</span></strong> RPM, Debian and 
	LuaRocks distribution packages.</li>

	<li><strong><span class="style6">Priority:</span></strong> Unicode Support (UTF-8) in Windows and Motif.</li>

	<li><strong><span class="style6">Priority:</span></strong> A tutorial section in the 
	documentation. One big Controls Demo just like GTK, wxWidgets and Qt have.</li>

	<li><strong><span class="style6">Priority:</span></strong> Customization of
	<strong>IupGetParam</strong> to add other applications controlled elements.</li>
	<li><strong><span class="style6">Priority:</span></strong> detection of the 
	minimum size of a child inside <strong>IupSplit</strong>.</li>
	<li><strong><span class="style6">Priority:</span></strong> IupGLCanvas in 
	MACOS X using native OpenGL support.</li>

	<li>A MacOS X native driver using Carbon or Cocoa.</li>
	<li>The actual model for control data structure in the internal SDK is 
	restricted for derived classes.</li>

	<li>Loading and saving RTF files in 
	<strong>IupText</strong>. Add support for images inside the text.</li>

	<li>Possibility to change the system menu in Windows. Support for cascading <strong>
	IupPopup</strong> for menus.</li>
	<li>Support for Portuguese in the <strong>IupView</strong> application.</li>
	<li>Vertical text in labels and buttons.</li>
	</ul>

<h3>Windows</h3>

<ul>

	<li><span class="style1">Known Issue:</span> when an <strong>IupVal</strong> 
	is inside an <strong>IupTabs</strong>, the tabs disappear when the mouse 
	moves over it after being used in the valuator. A workaround is to put the 
	valuator inside an <strong>IupFrame</strong> and then inside the <strong>
	IupTabs</strong>, so the problem does not occur.</li>
	<li><span class="style1">Known Issue:</span> when the dialog background is 
	dynamically changed the <strong>IupVal</strong> background is only updated 
	after the user click on the control or when the control is redisplayed.</li>

	<li><span class="style1">Known Issue:</span> in Windows Vista the 
	COMPOSITE=YES attribute of the <strong>IupDialog</strong> is not working as expected. There 
	is still flicker when the dialog is resized. <strong>IupTabs</strong> in Windows Vista when 
	COMPOSITE=YES works only if MULTILINE=YES. (since 3.0)</li>

	<li><span class="style1">Known Issue:</span> in Windows when CANFOCUS=NO 
	only the Tab key navigation is not done, when clicked the control will still 
	get the focus. The only exceptions are button and canvas.</li>
	<li><span class="style1">Known Issue (Compiler):</span> the <strong>IupImgLib</strong> 
	takes an very long time to compile under Visual C++. (since 3.0)</li>

	<li><span class="style1">Known Issue (Compiler):</span> when building with Open Watcom 
	the additional controls crash. When you add debug information to the main 
	IUP library the problem solves. We tried to track down this error but it 
	does not occurs with debug information and our attempts without debug does 
	not gives any results. So the IUP main library for Watcom is now distributed 
	with debug information. (since 3.0)</li>

</ul>

<h3>GTK</h3>

<ul>

	<li><span class="style1">Known Issue:</span> in Ubuntu 11.10 the canvas 
	scrollbar is not notifying IUP that the user dragged the control. To solve 
	the problem remove the overlay-scrollbar, this is the package that makes the 
	scrollbar invisible until the mouse is near it.</li>

</ul>

<h3>Motif</h3>

<ul>

	<li><span class="style1">Known Issue:</span> when the <strong>IupList</strong> 
	has DROPDOWN=Yes in Motif, and the list has items with the same string, the 
	ACTION callback will return the index of the item with the first instance of 
	the string only. This seems to be a bug or limitation in Motif.</li>

</ul>

<h3>IupMatrix</h3>

<ul>

	<li><strong><span class="style2">Priority: </span></strong>image, check mark 
	and gauge for cells.</li>
	<li>Mark using the keyboard.</li>
	<li>Drag&amp;drop of 
	columns position.</li>

</ul>

<h3>IupTree</h3>

<ul>

	<li><span class="style1">Known Issue:</span> the rubber band gets lost 
	depending on what you do inside the SELECTION_CB callback in GTK. To avoid 
	that set&nbsp; RUBBERBAND=NO.</li>

	<li><span class="style1">Known Issue:</span> the SELECTION_CB callback may 
	be called more than once for the same node with the same status.</li>
	<li><span class="style1">Known Issue:</span> in Windows XP, when using a font 
	for an node with TITLEFONTid in <strong>IupTree</strong> that is larger than 
	the element FONT the item text will be cropped at right and bottom because 
	the system uses the element font to calculate the item size. The only 
	exception is when you just change the font to add a Bold style.</li>

	<li><span class="style1">Important:</span> old NAMEid attribute conflicts with the common attribute NAME. Should be 
	replaced by the new TITLEid. NAMEid will be removed in future versions. 
	(since 3.0)</li>

	<li>RENAMEEDIT_CB callback and RENAMEMASKid attribute.</li>

	<li>Add new nomenclature option for id, for example &quot;:2:1:4&quot;</li>

  <li>Define minimum size based on tree nodes.</li>

	<li>drag&amp;drop of multiple selected nodes.</li>

</ul>

<h3>IupPPlot</h3>
<ul>
	<li>Allow to select multiple nodes at once dragging the mouse within a 
	region.</li>
  <li>Add support of legend text near each dataset plot.</li>
  <li>Adjust AutoScale to start and end at major axis ticks.</li>
  <li>Improve the display of values near each sample.</li>
	<li>Custom legend position.</li>
  <li>PPlot force the definitions of the margins. It should have a way to 
	automatic calculate the margins when doing automatic scaling.</li>
  <li>PPlot force the Grid to be automatically spaced following the major ticks.</li>
  <li><font SIZE="3">PPlot generates lots of warnings on all compilers.</font></li>
</ul>

<h3>New Controls</h3>

<ul>

  <li><strong><span class="style2">Priority:</span> Scripter - </strong>Project Manager/Dialog Editor/Integrated Debugger for IupLua</li>

  <li><strong><span class="style2">Priority: </span>ScrollBox</strong> -&nbsp; a 
	box that can scroll the elements inside</li>

  <li><strong><span class="style2">Priority: </span>GridBox </strong>- container 
	to distribute elements in a grid.</li>
	<li class="style3">-----------------------------</li>
